UN is totally irrelevant. Next.
Attacking a civilian population of a country you're not at war with is a violation of international law.
And Isreal has done it at least nine times in the last year.
Well yeah just add another war crime to the list.
As if Israel suddenly is going to care about international law. They have been committing war crimes and crimes against humanity for a long time now. This is telling nazis "hey, what you are doing is bad mkay?" like they would give a fuck.
I find this a far more compelling view. Trapping the equipment of enemy paramilitaries seems a very strange hill to die on to paint as a war crime. On the other hand, the haphazard distribution of the pagers and the lack of care taken to minimize civilian casualties absolutely suggests this was a war crime - just not for the reason of trapping communications devices.
Feels like increasingly that is the new reality for all of us, everything is a potential attack vector, even if it's much less lethal attacks. Data grabs, money grabs, attention grabs. Show me something weaponizable that isn't being exploited as one in one way or another.
Yes. But do pants! That would be fun....
ok sir your shoes go in this bin. We want your pants, underwear and belt in that other one. Those will be returned to you after the flight reaches Michigan.....
Oh. We're sorry sir, your luggage is here, but your pants, belt and underwear were flown to Michoacan. Very common occurrence. You may take this pair of paper pants with our Logo while we wait for several connection flights for your belongings...
Fucking this is not hard.
Either that is illegal, or the Unibomber was just.
